The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 409 Yanjing International Trade Center

"Trade Center? Similar to the New York International Trade Center?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a thought.

Of course, Chen Zhiwen knew about the future Yanjing International Trade Center. This is the first CBD cluster in the history of the Mainland, and it will also be one of the buildings with the highest income in the Mainland in the future. It is said that after the 21st century, the annual rent of the International Trade Center will exceed 30 billion Renminbi, after the 10s, has exceeded 50 billion. The entire China World Trade Center is only rented and not sold, but insiders estimate the value to exceed 2200 billion. Whether it is in terms of rental income or its own value, even in Central Hong Kong, it is possible to surpass China World Trade Center. One of the few super buildings.

Although from the data point of view, the International Trade Center has a larger area and the construction cost should be higher, but in this era, land in the Mainland is basically free or very cheap. Hong Kong is the opposite. It is said that the first phase of the International Trade Center The cost investment is 5 million US dollars, and this money in Hong Kong, even in the current real estate crisis, cannot buy the former land king in Central.

"Yes, almost, but the shape and floor layout need to be designed by ourselves. It doesn't have to be a twin building like New York. The central means that it also needs to include a large modern conference hall that can accommodate thousands of people. It is convenient to hold large-scale international business conferences, and there are also five-star hotels and various entertainment venues, which are convenient for foreign investors." President Liang said.

After this project was proposed by someone in the central government, there were many people who opposed it. The main reason was that it was too expensive. There are too many, such as foreign exchange, which requires the purchase of a large number of various heavy industry production lines, resulting in a serious shortage of foreign exchange.

In terms of internal economy, various places have started to build infrastructure, not to mention other things, the most basic roads and bridges need to be built, right?This is not enough for many places that rely on agricultural taxes to maintain government operations, so they can only ask for it from the central government.

And every big city also needs a lot of funds, such as Yanjing, Shanghai, etc. The most basic thing is to start laying water pipes, repair dilapidated roads, repair dilapidated houses, etc.At the same time, because the income of farmers is too low, the state has to increase the purchase price of agricultural products, but it cannot increase the cost of living in the city, so it has to provide a large amount of financial subsidies.

Building a CBD cluster is impossible for Yanjing City's finances. One year's finances are not enough without food and drink, let alone the current annual deficit, and the central government's finances are similar. Therefore, after internal discussions, only Can be prepared to hand over to foreign capital.

The first one to look for was Japan, but the other party put forward a lot of demands, took the opportunity to open up their mouths, and even asked the country to specifically impose low tariff requirements on some Japanese-funded products, but in the end nothing came of it, and at this time, Chen Zhiwen was also rumored overseas. The large-scale acquisition of Disney, a well-known American entertainment company, involved more than 20 billion US dollars.This is a price several times higher than the cost of building the International Trade Center. In addition, the Beijing-Tianjin-Tang Expressway is already under construction, which will have a great impact on Yanjing and even the entire North China. Therefore, someone asked about Chen Zhiwen's Opinions, that's why we have this meeting today.

"In this case, this investment is not small. What is the approximate budget? Have you considered it in the mainland?" Chen Zhiwen asked with a smile.

Although I already know the approximate number, but I still need to ask clearly. If I don’t understand anything, I agree to others, then I feel that there is a problem, and I even need to make some requests within a reasonable range. This is the essence of a businessman. At the same time of mutual benefit, you also need to ensure more interests for yourself. As for the other party, it is enough to guarantee that you will not lose money, and you also need to do long-term business.

But there is one thing, he remembers that the Yanjing International Trade Center project should have been proposed in 1984, and now it seems to be a year earlier, probably because of his own butterfly effect. After all, he invested in Yanjing on a large scale, a large expressway, a A modern automobile factory, a large home appliance production center, and countless indirect investments will naturally drive the development of Yanjing's economy, employment, and foreign trade, so it is normal for the demand for the International Trade Center to appear a little earlier.

"Yanjing City estimates its needs in the next ten years based on its population and its ability to create wealth. The budget for the International Trade Center is estimated to need 3-5 million US dollars. Specifically, I am not very professional, and I still need professionals to connect If Chen Sheng is interested, he can go to Yanjing City to find out." President Liang said after a pause.

"Does this project still require a joint venture?" Chen Zhiwen asked again. This is very important. There is no need to consider investing in highways and automobile factories. A joint venture is necessary. It will be the same in a few decades, and the law will not change at all. , so there is no need to worry.Although the home appliance factory can be wholly-owned after a few years, there is no need to think about it in the early stage, because the market is firmly in its own hands, and the domestic joint venture party has no rights. If the other party's shares are bought out, if the other party does not agree, then I will immediately go to another place to build a wholly foreign-owned production base and transfer the order away, so the other party has no choice.

But the China World Trade Center is different. Once the joint venture is built, when the business is good, the joint venture party refuses to sell it, and there is nothing I can do. It is impossible to build another one to compete, right?Unrealistic, this kind of building needs approval.

"In China, the meaning should be to allow foreign capital to be wholly owned, but you have to discuss the specifics." Mr. Liang said, in fact, the current restrictions on foreign investment in China have gradually begun to loosen. I bought an American company specializing in the production of pipeline instruments, and the other party directly proposed to produce it with its own sole proprietorship. According to the Foreign Investment Law, this is absolutely impossible. There was a small disturbance, and the central government finally approved it. Although this is also because pipeline instruments are very important in China, and all imports have been required before, but no matter what, the gap has been slowly opened.

"Okay, I'll go there when I have time." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said, "But after I buy Disney, in the early stage, I will arrange people from Hehuang to go over and find out the specific situation."

At present, Disney's acquisition is the top priority. After it is acquired, the Hong Kong dollar crisis in Hong Kong will almost erupt. After this problem is resolved, the British side will be honest and realize the reality. The Pearl of the Orient, the focus of the negotiation will also turn to how to hand over, from then on, I have nothing to worry about.

As for the investment involving hundreds of millions of dollars, the original normal process is to send professional people to communicate and investigate in the early stage, and when the information is almost checked, they will summarize and report to his boss.

"Okay, then when I go back here, I will inform Yanjing City to connect with Huang?" President Liang said with a smile, if the other party has intentions for such a large investment and does not refuse, then he will be considered successful this time, and the follow-up will depend on the mainland over there.

"Yeah." Chen Zhiwen nodded, and said with a smile: "Come on, let's eat hot pot. I hope that sooner, ordinary people in China can eat these things every day."

"It's a bit difficult. It's not bad for ordinary people to eat this meat dish once a week." President Liang said helplessly: "I hope to achieve this goal in 30 years."

"15 years may be enough." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

The achievement of reforming the mainland is a miracle in the history of human economy. Even in the early stage of reforming, everyone’s wish is that the domestic economy in the future can be compared with that of ordinary developing countries, but the subsequent development has surpassed everyone’s expectations. imagine.

Rolling must be rolling, and tiredness must be tiring, but since it develops late, if you want to live a good life, you have to work harder. Even in developed countries such as the West, Japan, and South Korea, it takes more than two or three generations of hard work to have successors. easy life.This can be regarded as the characteristic of East Asians, and only China, Japan and South Korea have the opportunity to grow up in the world economic system controlled by Europe and the United States and break the middle-income trap.

"I hope so, thanks to Chen Sheng's auspicious words." President Liang laughed.

After a meal, Chen Zhiwen returned to Hutchison Building. The large-scale infrastructure investment in the Mainland is basically handed over to Hutchison. This is a special arrangement by Chen Zhiwen. After the restrictions, you can also freely invest in industries that suit you, such as large shopping malls, etc.

After seeing Zhou Jiayang, he informed him of the International Trade Center project.

"How is it? Is there any problem with funding?" Chen Zhiwen asked. During this period of time, Hutchison is actively buying the stocks of high-quality real estate companies in Hong Kong plus land, or directly bidding from the Hong Kong government, and the other big one is the Japanese real estate market. Investment, such as the acquisition of the fifth largest cinema chain group in Japan at a cost of 6.1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the acquisition of office properties in major cities such as Tokyo and Nagoya. Although Hutchison has strong capital and has used the loan system in Japan, the entire The Japanese market is too big, and the amount of funds that can be accommodated is huge. If you continue to invest, it will be a bottomless pit.

"There are funds, but such a large investment will definitely affect the plan in Japan, but you can use all kinds of bank loans as much as possible. For a project as big as Yanjing, banks in Hong Kong may not dare to invest in it at present." The Zhou family Yang thought for a while and said.

"I will transfer some funds from the United States to you, but you are right, bank loans still have to be used. I have full confidence in this project. If the banks in Hong Kong do not agree, then go to the United States. , but the currency of the loan must be US dollars, not other foreign exchange.” Chen Zhiwen paused and said.

The most convenient thing about cooperating with the Morgan consortium is that a lot of the money he earned in the gold futures market can be evacuated from the United States through normal channels. According to the plan, 30 billion US dollars will flow out within half a year, and the other funds will stay in the United States. , used to help Costco, Best Buy, farm acquisitions and the largest Disney acquisition plan. These funds can only be used in small amounts in Hong Kong, because the Hong Kong market simply cannot accommodate it. Otherwise, he will support the market alone, and other real estate companies will not be able to Happy to die.

Japan is a natural pool of accommodation. Whether it is the stock market or the housing market, a mere $30 billion is a drop in the bucket. Even if you use bank leverage, it is just a bigger stone entering the pond. As for the mainland, it is estimated that this is the most recently The International Trade Center is gone, and other large-scale investments will have to wait at least a few more years.

"That would be the best." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile: "Now Japan's real estate market is also rising. Although the rate is not as good as that of Hong Kong a few years ago, it is still fast. The properties we bought before, It has already begun to appreciate, and I think after a while, I can take out the second mortgage and buy other properties.”

"Money begets money. The speed is really fast. Compared with Midea's profit, it is estimated to be higher." Chen Zhiwen shook his head and said with a smile.

Midea almost dominates the game industry in Europe and the United States, and it will be popular again after the launch of Mario. It is estimated that the annual net profit in the next few years will exceed one billion U.S. dollars, but compared to the rising Japanese real estate market, especially after the Hiroshima agreement The growth rate is far behind, and may even be inferior to the future profits of the Hong Kong real estate market.Because the Japanese game giants of later generations are not comparable to the four major families in Hong Kong in terms of scale!
"This is the characteristic of the real estate market. It is a pity that it is not convenient for us to develop projects in Japan, otherwise the profits will be higher." Zhou Jiayang said.

"Just purchase the complete property directly. You will earn less but worry less." Chen Zhiwen said.

Even Japanese capital is unable to engage in real estate in Hong Kong, and the reverse will not work. The real estate market is basically monopolized by local companies. This is not only a national policy, but also a characteristic of the real estate market. Foreigners basically cannot compete. Local ones, such as the domestic real estate market in the future, even if they are Hong Kong-funded, can only invest in office buildings, and basically cannot participate in residential buildings. A few projects, such as Li Jiacheng, are still held by him, which leads to bad relations with the local government. It also cuts off the way for Hong Kong capital to develop land in China.

"Yes, collecting rent in this way can also reduce our costs." Zhou Jiayang nodded and said.

"What happened to Yantian Port?" Chen Zhiwen asked again.

"Hisense Bank has already been in contact with them. Huo Jianning proposed more preferential policies, and suggested that Yantian Port be built a little bigger at one time, and then directly install various modern port equipment, which also reduced the budget of the entire project from 90 1500 directly rose to 1500 million, which also hinted that it could cooperate with Hong Kong capital, and the Shenhai Municipal Government is already discussing it. If they pass it internally, I will send someone to discuss it." Zhou Jiayang said, in fact, even if [-] million , it is only a drop in the bucket for Hutchison, but this is something the boss cares about, so naturally he must take it seriously.

"Okay, let me know when there is any progress." Chen Zhiwen nodded, this project is naturally nothing to him, but this is the first port in Shenhai City, so naturally he must attach great importance to it. Now that he has great support, he must Expansion definitely needs to be discussed. After all, the current Shenhai City has a fiscal revenue of more than 1 million a year.

"No problem, as long as they are willing to introduce foreign capital, then I am absolutely sure that I can cooperate with them." Zhou Jiayang said with a smile. At present, only Hutchison is the only port company in Hong Kong that is willing to invest in domestic ports. Shekou has a precedent, so the probability of cooperation is naturally very high.
